I feel like Sam isn’t really dead…I dont know, maybe it’s wishful thinking but maybe Arobynn saved him and made Celaena think he was dead so she would kill Jayne, get caught, etc….I want Sam to be alive BUT CHAOL!!!

How to make SamXCelaena shippers upset with three words:
PATCH OF SPIDERSILK.

HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND by Daughtry

You and I both, we come from different worldsI’m a small town kid and you’re an uptown girlWe’ve both been hurt, we got a few scarsBut it don’t matter now, we’re staring at the stars

When it comes to my heart you gotta catch and fallDeep down in my soul I know that I would dieIf I didn’t have you how could I ever fly?100 miles beyond the sky

It’s feeling like we’re high above the groundIt’s feeling like we never coming downTil we want toBut why would we want to (now)?

Remember that day, we knew it from the startWe’ve come a long way and we’re gonna go farI see the future in your eyesForever and always, you and I

It’s feeling like we’re high above the groundIt’s feeling like we never coming downTil we want toBut why would we want to (now)?

When we’re so close to heavenThen we gonna like this paradiseIt’s gonna be too hard to sayGoodnight yeah

It’s feeling like we’re high above the groundIt’s feeling like we never coming downTil we want toBut why would we want to now?

OOPS I CRIED CUZ SAM AND CELAENA.

OOPS.

honestly why did i think making a samlaena mix would be a good idea i’m dying

I miss Nox. I can’t let him go. I want him and Celaena as bffs, kicking royal ass.

I remember reading that he’s going to come back. I just can’t wait.

I want Nox back. So much.

Sarah J Mass:i dont ALWAYS write things thatll ruin my readers lives

Sarah J Mass:but when i do

Sarah J Mass:i make sure it happens in the last 10pages

Sarah J Maas:*holds up Heir of Fire and laughs evilly*

Whatever you do don’t think about Rowan sleeping alone. Don’t think about him sleeping on one side of the bed even though Aelin isn’t next to him. Don’t do it. You’ll catch the feels.

He did that anyway when his mate died

oh yeah, throne of glass! i love that book. celaena, dorian, nehemia and [looks at smudged writing on hand] chalk

This is horrible

poor Chaol!

Fave character: *Confirmed dead*

Me: Haha show me their corpse and then I’ll believe it

Writers: It’s right there

Writers: They’re dead

Writers Never coming back

Me: Nah they’re fine

How I imagine Dorian and Rowan meeting will go

Dorian:I’m a hot, magical prince that Aelin loves

Rowan:I’m a hot, magical prince that Aelin loves

Dorian:

Dorian:

Dorian:

Dorian:I, as an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you have copied me! You’re a laughing stock. It’s cheesy, it’s disgusting. I personally found it artistically atrocious! I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion.

everyone:hoe don’t do it

celaena:*does it*

everyone:oh my god

Queen Aelin Ashryver Galathynius:*can kill a man with her bare hands, is the most notorious and ruthless assassin in the world, is a fairy warrior goddess, has fire magic powers, is going to kill King Havilliard and take back her kingdom*

Prince Dorian Havilliard:she’s wifey material

Celaena:Hoe don’t do it

Chaol:*bans Celaena from the Yulemas ball*

Celaena:Oh my god

Celeana Sardothien:Of course I think you are both great guys, Chaol and *looks at smudged writing on hand* Dorito!

Moment of silence for the death of beautiful character. RIP Sam Cortland.
*sobs for weeks*

I’m reading the Throne of Glass novellas and Sam is amazing! It kills me because I know what’s going to happen…

Ah I remember reading the little assassin stories of Sam cortland. Pain. I remember there was a lot of pain.

First off, sorry this took so long to post. I’ve been swamped by homework and the only reason I’ve been posting anything is that I’ve had a lot of drafts I literally just have to click two buttons.

ANYWAY, I’ve thought a little about who Nesryn could be. There’s a few returning characters that she might be, like Lysandra or Elide, or she could be a totally new character. I’ve also seen theories about how she might be one of the slaves that Celaena freed in Skull’s Bay. That makes sense to me, especially because of her last name. It sounds pretty Eyllwe to me.From the little we know about her, she would be a good character to be returning from Aelin’s past. It’s obvious she’s going to be pretty important, so it would make sense if she does end up being a returning character. Whether she is or isn’t, we’re going to be seeing a lot of characters from Aelin’s past start to return here soon.

Right now I’m thinking that she’s going to be a new character, but I can totally see her being a returning character. I’ve thought about it though, and the people that I’m considering (Lysandra/Elide) already have pretty important roles in both Celaena’s past and Aelin’s future, which I think makes it less likely for them to come back in a totally different role. I mean it could definitely work, but I just don’t think that’s as much of a possibility. I can see her more as one of the slaves or silent assassins that we were kind of introduced to but not in detail.

Bottom of the line, no matter who she is, she’s going to badass and fantastic and a great addition to the squad

rowan and aelin like to share a bed. fleetfoot used to sleep in aelin’s bed before she left. now imagine rowan and fleetfoot battling for space in the same bed while aelin grins smugly and steals all the blankets

Plot twist:
Dorian and Chaol have been sleeping together. Arobynn proposes to Celaena. Celaena dyes her hair pink. And fleetfoot turns into a unicorn.

After reading Heir of Fire I decided that I’ll re-do this for the next book which will obviously be called

I return to my rightful throne of glass motherf*cker Here we go The King of Adarlan gets murdered by neon sea monkeys. Celaena becomes a tumblr girl. Dorian has a steamy shower with chaol (I ship it) The chocolate hazelnut cake has been causing the dark magic all along. And Manon tries wine for the first time.

Aelin: Today’s a good day.

Rowan: Today’s a good day.

King of Adarlan: Hi

Aelin:…

Rowan: …

King of Adarlan: I came here to have a good time but honestly I am feeling attacked right now.

Hi I’m auditioning for the role of Sam Cortland and I’ll be singing Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand

Forever in constant denial that Sam Cortland is really dead

Confirmed for Queen of Shadows:

-Celaena will now be written as Aelin in 3rd POV
-Rowan has a significant amount of page time
-The opening scene begins with Dorian
-We find out who Aedion’s father is
-There will be more Cadre scenes [swoon]
-Witchling babies will appear as will Crochan witches
-New countries will be introduced
-We find out which assassin murdered the royal family of Terrasen
-New characters (such as Nesyrn Faliq) will be introduced

-We’re all going to die

THRONE OF GLASS SERIES SPOILERS MAYBE

but I’m a little confused will somebody please explain to me, wasn’t it made obvious that arobynn was the assassin who killed celaena’s family? like beyond explicitly stating it?

because she was found on the side of the river by arobynn, and was given the choice go with him or die (because otherwise he’d kill her himself).

and the news report said the assassin who killed the royal family met aelin on the banks of the river

plus if you’re the king of adarlan and have tons of money and only one shot at assassinating terrasen’s royal family, aren’t you going to hire THE KING OF ASSASSINS to do the job? why go to anything less than the best?

but i see a lot of posts speculating about it and saying it will be revealed in QoS, but reading between the lines wasn’t it already revealed ages ago?

Ok so I had just finished reading Crown of Midnight and I decided to read The Assassins Blade next. Before when I heard about Sam in the first two books I was like whatever it’s all about Chaol.But then I read the AB and I was like .SAM SAM MY BABY I FUCKING LOVE YOU AKFJJRNFIFNGKF. As I was getting near the end I was flipping OU cuz I new he was going to die (I was reading this during class) When I got to the part where it was like Sam was dead I threw the book at the wall and started crying my eyes out….. My teacher asked me if I needed help

If you haven’t read The Assassins Blade, you’re seriously missing out on some Sam Cortland feels

The thing is, we all know for certain that the King of Adarlan is evil. He has no other redeeming qualities. The guy signed his own death sentence even before we had met him. Maeve, on the other hand, I think a lot of us aren’t too sure about? Personally, I dislike her. I don’t care what her ultimatum is, she still enslaved her warriors and made them whip each other whenever she pleased. She also never sent aid to Terrasen, only claiming to host sanctuary to all of those who could make it across the sea to Doranelle. But, she did mention a few times that she desires to see Aelin reclaim her throne. Perhaps she only meant that so to manipulate her young relative once she takes up that king of power, but I’m not ready to label her “evil” just yet. She’s merely (ok…VERY) problematic.

But yeah, getting back to the question: I’d ship them as an evil BROTP. Lol.

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

After analyzing everything I’m convinced this series is about the transformations of Celaena and Dorian. I predict they’ll either end up together or rule their separate kingdoms with an alliance. Dorian never questioned or resented Celaena for her true identity and prior “occupations” In fact, he was the one who brought her out of Endovier by his command. They have the cutest friendship but with a fiery passion underlying the surface of their innocent gestures which makes for an intense [possible] romantic pairing. Not to mention, regardless of who you ship in this series, there’s a shit ton of foreshadowing that would suggest Dorian x Aelin being endgame. Here are a few…

“There is a queen in the north, and she has already beaten you once. She will beat you again. And again. Because what she represents, and what your son represents, is what you fear most: hope.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“One of them has to break,” the queen said to the princess.
“Only then can it begin.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“When Celaena got back, when she returned as she’d sworn she would… they would set about changing the world together.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But to surmise, I’m very open minded regarding the many possible ships in this series. I’ve shipped her with almost everyone by now, including her own self. If Sarah ends up not giving Aelin a love interest in the end, I wouldn’t mind. She’s built a strong enough character to do that 🙂

I have a crackpot theory where Abraxos is actually a man turned wyvern (by the King because lets be honest, its not as if the man hasn’t been turning people into monsters already) or he was a fae but was trapped in his wyvern form when magic faded. And if that is the case, I totally ship Abraxos x Manon!

I’m not certain who to ship Chaol with. I think he needs to do a little self-exploring before he dives back into the world of dalliances and flirting! But as for shipping him and Ansel? I guess I could see the potential, but I wouldn’t want that to occur. It would be too strange, all considering how they’d eventually meet one another (through Aelin herself). However, I’ve been doing my daily stalking of Sarah J Maas’ Pinterest board and found an image depicting Ansel alongside a massive lion. Someone commented it could have been Rowan’s “Kitty-Cat Friend” to which SJM replied “you might be on to something..” !!!

I can see that happening. They’re both under the King’s possession (quite literally) and they’ve both been said to have ulterior motives that would suggest they were against the King before he enslaved them. If not an OTP, than maybe a badass BROTP? Two supposedly evil characters helping one another regain their lives from a common enemy. I like it. [dark smirk]

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

Already answered (with a ton of detail) but I’ll say it again: BROTP/ OTP. They’re my favorite couple (for any type of relationship) in the entire series. And since this series is my favorite, they’re my favorite pairing. OF ALL TIME. I worship their friendship but I’d also be happy if it became something more. (✿◠‿◠)

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

NOTP. I love both characters but I wouldn’t want them to end up together for various reasons. I have a theory that Abraxos is a human turned wyvern or a fae stuck in wyvern form and I’d ship those two in a heartbeat. Also, if Rowan were to end up with anyone in this series (romantically) I’d want it to be Aelin. However, the two of them would be great allies together! Perhaps they’ll fight side by side when (if) they’re both in Aelin’s rebel army.

send me any ship, and I mean ANY ship, and I’ll tell you if its an OTP, BROTP, or NOTP!

YES. OMG. I LOVE THEM, too bad Sam is gone and Sarah isn’t planning on bringing him back

I shouldn’t have read the Throne of Glass novellas. There isn’t even any scenes of Sam alive in the first two ToG books but now I’ve read the novellas all I want is for Sam to make a miraculous recovery in Heir of Fire or something, like maybe he never really passed. :(:(

Do you know why everyone’s hating on Chaol? ;o ’cause I don’t get it…he’s such a great guy ;o

To be honest, there a thousand reasons why people are hating on Chaol. Some say he was repulsed by Celaena and Dorian after their big reveals, some say he is just a general pain in the arse.
But to be honest, I think Chaol Westfall is a prime example of character development, and in many ways (after reading The Assassin’s Blade) I see a lot of Sam Cortland in him.

He went from being so cold towards Celaena because she was this murderer and assassin, but then went on to open up to her. He saw the good in her and she did with him. I love it in books where a relationship blooms between a couple where there is a large degree of Skinny Love– the two are obviously in love but neither one mentions it.

Despite everything, Chaol has always been there to the degree’s which he is capable. I get where some people come from with certain aspects of him. But come on people. Mr Westfall is just Grumpy Cat personified.

And we love him for it.

Even if Chaolaena happens or not. Even if Chaol makes it to the end or not. I will always support him, regardless of other peoples largely unjustified hatred towards him.

*Sidenote- Just because I like Chaol doesn’t mean I don’t like Dorian or Rowan or Aedion, because lets face it, if you’ve been following my blog for at least a day you’ll know I adore all three (MAKES LOVEY DOVEY EYES AT ROWAN)*

I’m just loving this Sam x Celaena banter 🙂

I don’t want to ship you guys cause this is only the prequel and I don’t want to get my heart broken but it’s hard cause you two are adorable little idiots

aedion: i can protect her better rowan: no i can aedion: ive known her longer rowan: were carranam aedion: ive served and protected her since birth rowan: well we all know how that turned out aedion: launches himself at rowan aelin: kills arobynn aelin: kills king aelin: rebuilds empire aelin: now now boys you can both protect me

all i want in life is a sam cortland

is that so much to ask for

Reading the throne of glass novellas is so painful bc they introduce Sam
And he’s great so far (I just finished the novella about the pirate lord)
He’s definitely the best match for Celaena out of Chaol and Dorian (don’t kill me I’ve only read the first book so far)
But I know he dies
And the thought itself just causes me misery

Sarah:I see that you like this funny, smart, awesome character.

Sarah:wouldn’t it be funny

Sarah:if something

Sarah:were to happen

Sarah:to them?

Me:

Me:

Me:

Me:hoe don’t do it

Sarah:*brutally kills character*

Me:Oh my God

Celaena (ToG): I don’t hate you. And I don’t think you’re like them. I’m—I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you. I’m joking most of the time.

Celaena (CoM): Thank you for all that you have done for me, Dorian. Thank you for being my friend. For not being like the others.

Dorian (HoF): But he had seen her—seen glimpses of the person beneath, regardless of name or title. And he knew, deep down, that she had not blinked at his magic but rather understood that burden, and that fear. She had not walked away or wished him to be anything but what he was.

“When we die, do you think we’ll be punished for the things we’ve done?”

Sam Cortland.

“When we die, I don’t think the gods will even know what to do with us.”

“I get scared too,” he murmured onto her skin. “You want to hear something ridiculous? Whenever I’m scared out of my wits, I tell myself: My name is Sam Cortland…and I will not be afraid. I’ve been doing it for years.”

Sam Cortland – The Assassin and the Empire by Sarah J. Maas

If you want to make me cry, this is how to do it.

“She didn’t want to go out into a world where he didn’t exist. So she watched the light shift and change, and let the world pass by without her.”

The Assassin and the Empire – Sarah J Maas

“He brushed his lips against hers. “I love you,” he breathed against her mouth. “And from today onward, I want to never be separated from you. Wherever you go, I go. Even if that means going into Hell itself, wherever you are, that’s where I want to be. Forever.””

Sam Cortland – The Assassin and the Underworld

Knowing how things end, this really hurts. And it makes me scared to read The Assassin and the Empire.

“In the silence of her bedroom, she swore an oath to the moonlight that if Sam were hurt, no force in the world would hold her back from slaughtering everyone responsible.”

Sam Cortland, saying the words that dissolved me into a puddle of sobs because Celaena will always carry those words with her

“The body smelled faintly like Sam. And the cheap soap she’d made him use, because she was so selfish that she couldn’t let him have her lavender soap.

Celaena buried her face in his cold, stiff shoulder. There was a strange, musky scent all over him—a smell that was so distinctly not Sam that she almost vomited again.

“I love you,” he repeated, shaking her again. “I have for years. And he hurt you and made me watch because he’s always know how I felt, too. But if I asked you to pick, you’d choose Arobynn, and I. Can’t. Take. It.”

Sam to Celaena, Assassin and the underworld by Sarah J Maas

“She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever things were darkest.
And then she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world held nothing but possibility. No matter what they did to her, they could never take that away.
She would not break.
And someday … someday, even it took her until her last breath, she’d find out who had done this to her. To Sam.”

The Assassin and The Empire, Sarah J Maas

“I can wait,” he said thickly, kissing her collarbone. “We have all the time in the world.”

Reading the 4th novella broke my heart. We all know how it ends. We all know that Sam dies. And that makes it a lot harder to read. It took me the whole day to go through those 100 pages relishing in how much I love Sam and how sad it is that he had to die before the story even began.

All Celaena’s romantic interests have been amazing and great to read about. And all seem worthy, but Sam so far has higher ranking for me.

“As the memory of that day echoed through her, she remembered the words Sam kept screaming at Arobynn, as the King of the Assassins beat her, the words that she’d somehow forgotten in the fog of pain: I’ll kill you! Sam had said it like he meant it. He’d bellowed it, again and again and again…”
